Abstract: A method for controlling the flow of liquid through a flexible tube in a blood collection set is provided. The set includes a venipuncture needle (12), a tube (14) for receiving blood and which provides branches to a blood collection container (18) and to a sampling pouch (20), a first flow control clamp (22) and an irreversibly closable flow control clamp (30) on the two branches. The method allows blood to flow from the tube (14) to the sampling pouch (20), irreversibly closing the flow control clamp (30) on the branch to the sampling pouch (20) whereby that flow-path is irreversibly closed and thereafter allowing blood to flow from the tube (14) to the collection (18) container via the other branch. The irreversibly closable flow control clamp (30) includes a flexible body (34) apertures (40, 44) and having two legs (36, 38) moveable between a spaced apart and a closed position, a tube contacting member (48) for clamping a tube passing through the apertures when the legs are in the closed position.

Abstract: Techniques are described for assessing road traffic conditions in various ways based on obtained traffic-related data, such as data samples from vehicles and other mobile data sources traveling on the roads, as well as in some situations data from one or more other sources (such as physical sensors near to or embedded in the roads). The assessment of road traffic conditions based on obtained data samples may include various filtering and/or conditioning of the data samples, and various inferences and probabilistic determinations of traffic-related characteristics of interest from the data samples. In some situations, the inferences include repeatedly determining traffic flow characteristics for road segments of interest during time periods of interest, such as to determine average traffic speed, traffic volume and/or occupancy, and include weighting various data samples in various ways (e.g., based on a latency of the data samples and/or a source of the data samples).

Abstract: A method for determining a spatial property of an object includes obtaining a scanning low coherence interference signal from a measurement object that includes two or more interfaces. The scanning low coherence interference signal includes two or more overlapping low coherence interference signals, each of which results from a respective interface. Based on the low coherence interference signal, a spatial property of at least one of the interfaces is determined. In some cases, the determination is based on a subset of the low coherence interference signal rather than on the entirety of the signal. Alternatively, or in addition, the determination can be based on a template, which may be indicative of an instrument response of the interferometer used to obtain the low coherence interference signal.
